This advanced course is designed to equip senior security engineers and security architects with the expertise required to design and build sophisticated cybersecurity solutions in complex enterprise environments. The course is aligned with the latest curriculum issued by the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), version CAS-005, which represents the evolutionary successor to the CASP+ certification. It focuses intensively on advanced security engineering, enterprise risk management, and strategic decision-making to address contemporary cybersecurity challenges.
This course does not grant an attendance certificate. It has been specifically designed to qualify and train participants to successfully pass the official examination, professionally preparing you to obtain the CompTIA SecurityX certification accredited by CompTIA.
Course Objectives
- Establish an advanced strategic understanding of integrating governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) requirements with organizational technical objectives.
- Enable participants to design resilient security infrastructures supporting cloud, hybrid, and cloud-native environments.
- Explain advanced cybersecurity monitoring mechanisms and the use of predictive analytics to detect persistent and advanced threats (APTs).
- Strengthen leadership skills in managing large-scale incident response and digital disaster recovery operations.
- Apply advanced cryptographic techniques to protect sensitive data throughout its entire lifecycle.
- Prepare experts to effectively address performance-based questions (PBQs) in the CompTIA SecurityX examination.
